The Poisoner (Volume 1)

Summary:

"Have you ever wondered how long it would take for a lethal dose of arsenic to kill you? Thirty-five hours, twenty-nine minutes, and fifteen seconds. I should know. I counted it myself."

Alina Lis, a botanist and amateur poisoner, passes the time by killing repulsive men in her twisted sense of poetic justice. When she sets her sights on the conceited playboy, Silas Forbes, she discovers that human men are the least of her problems.

The unlikely connection between the two sparks gossip and rumors in wealthy society. As their mysterious bond deepens, a terrifying truth comes to light—hidden identities, lurking enemies, and questions as numerous as the heads of the Hydra simmer in this haunting Gothic tale brimming with tempestuous passion.
